Patient's question:
Boys, already 7 years old, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, they had a slight fever and were lacking energy. Please ask: what are the dietary taboos for tonsillitis and low-grade fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating children's tonsillitis, attention should also be paid to diet. It is generally recommended to give children more fruits and vegetables, mainly because vegetables and fruits are not only light but also rich in various vitamins and trace elements needed by the body, which can help children resist diseases. For example, pears have a cooling nature and can help reduce fever, soothe the throat, resolve phlegm, and alleviate pain, thereby reducing the symptoms of acute tonsillitis in the throat. Parents should choose foods that are easy to swallow and digest, such as congee, which are good options. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let their children eat spicy or irritating foods. In daily life, it is also important to help children develop good habits. In addition to a healthy diet, they should also maintain a regular sleep schedule and engage in appropriate exercise.
